public class Table 
extends CompositeNode

Represents a table in a Word document.

Table is a block-level node and can be a child of classes derived from Story or InlineStory.

Table can contain one or more Row nodes.

A minimal valid table needs to have at least one Row.

Example:

Shows how to create a simple table.
Document doc = new Document();

// Tables are placed in the body of a document
Table table = new Table(doc);
doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(table);

// Tables contain rows, which contain cells,
// which contain contents such as paragraphs, runs and even other tables
// Calling table.EnsureMinimum will also make sure that a table has at least one row, cell and paragraph
Row firstRow = new Row(doc);
table.appendChild(firstRow);

Cell firstCell = new Cell(doc);
firstRow.appendChild(firstCell);

Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(doc);
firstCell.appendChild(paragraph);

Run run = new Run(doc, "Hello world!");
paragraph.appendChild(run);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Table.CreateTable.docx");

Example:

Shows how to iterate through all tables in the document and display the content from each cell.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Tables.docx");

// Here we get all tables from the Document node. You can do this for any other composite node
// which can contain block level nodes. For example you can retrieve tables from header or from a cell
// containing another table (nested tables)
TableCollection tables = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getTables();

// We can make a new array to clone all of the tables in the collection
Assert.assertEquals(tables.toArray().length, 2);

// Iterate through all tables in the document
for (int i = 0; i < tables.getCount(); i++) {
    // Get the index of the table node as contained in the parent node of the table
    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Start of Table {0}", i));

    RowCollection rows = tables.get(i).getRows();

    // Iterate through all rows in the table
    for (int j = 0; j < rows.getCount(); j++) {
        System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tStart of Row {0}", j));

        CellCollection cells = rows.get(j).getCells();

        // Iterate through all cells in the row
        for (int k = 0; k < cells.getCount(); k++) {
            // Get the plain text content of this cell.
            String cellText = cells.get(k).toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim();
            // Print the content of the cell.
            System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\t\tContents of Cell:{0} = \"{1}\"", k, cellText));
        }

        System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tEnd of Row {0}", j));
    }

    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("End of Table {0}\n", i));
}

Example:

Shows how to build a nested table without using DocumentBuilder.
public void createNestedTable() throws Exception {
    Document doc = new Document();

    // Create the outer table with three rows and four columns
    Table outerTable = createTable(doc, 3, 4, "Outer Table");
    // Add it to the document body
    doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(outerTable);

    // Create another table with two rows and two columns
    Table innerTable = createTable(doc, 2, 2, "Inner Table");
    // Add this table to the first cell of the outer table
    outerTable.getFirstRow().getFirstCell().appendChild(innerTable);

    doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Table.CreateNestedTable.docx");
}

Method Detail

accept

public boolean accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)
              throws java.lang.Exception
Accepts a visitor.

Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

Calls DocumentVisitor.VisitTableStart, then calls Accept for all child nodes of the section and calls DocumentVisitor.VisitTableEnd at the end.
Parameters:
visitor - The visitor that will visit the nodes.
Returns:
True if all nodes were visited; false if DocumentVisitor stopped the operation before visiting all nodes.

appendChild

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public Node appendChild(Node newChild)
                throws java.lang.Exception
Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes for this node.

If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use DocumentBase.importNode(com.aspose.words.Node,boolean,int) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

Parameters:
newChild - The node to add.
Returns:
The node added.

Example:

Shows how to construct an Aspose.Words document by hand.
Document doc = new Document();

autoFit

public void autoFit(int behavior)
            throws java.lang.Exception
Resizes the table and cells according to the specified auto fit behavior.

This method mimics the commands available in the Auto Fit menu for a table in Microsoft Word. The commands available are "Auto Fit to Contents", "Auto Fit to Window" and "Fixed Column Width". In Microsoft Word these commands set relevant table properties and then update the table layout and Aspose.Words does the same for you.

Parameters:
behavior - A AutoFitBehavior value. Specifies how to auto fit the table.

Example:

Shows how to build a new table while applying a style.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Table table = builder.startTable();

// We must insert at least one row before setting any table formatting.
builder.insertCell();

// Set the table style used based on the style identifier.
// Note that not all table styles are available when saving to .doc format.
table.setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.MEDIUM_SHADING_1_ACCENT_1);

// Partially apply the style to features of the table based on predicates, then build the table.
table.setStyleOptions(TableStyleOptions.FIRST_COLUMN | TableStyleOptions.ROW_BANDS | TableStyleOptions.FIRST_ROW);
table.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.AUTO_FIT_TO_CONTENTS);

builder.writeln("Item");
builder.getCellFormat().setRightPadding(40.0);
builder.insertCell();
builder.writeln("Quantity (kg)");
builder.endRow();

builder.insertCell();
builder.writeln("Apples");
builder.insertCell();
builder.writeln("20");

builder.writeln("50");
builder.endRow();

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocumentBuilder.InsertTableWithStyle.docx");

clearBorders

public void clearBorders()
Removes all table and cell borders on this table.

Example:

Shows how to remove all borders from a table.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Create a table
Table table = builder.startTable();
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Hello world!");
builder.endTable();

// Set a color/thickness for the top border of the first row and verify the values
Border topBorder = table.getFirstRow().getRowFormat().getBorders().getByBorderType(BorderType.TOP);
table.setBorder(BorderType.TOP, LineStyle.DOUBLE, 1.5, Color.RED, true);

Assert.assertEquals(1.5d, topBorder.getLineWidth());
Assert.assertEquals(Color.RED.getRGB(), topBorder.getColor().getRGB());
Assert.assertEquals(LineStyle.DOUBLE, topBorder.getLineStyle());

// Clear the borders all cells in the table
table.clearBorders();
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Table.ClearBorders.docx");

// Upon re-opening the saved document, the new border attributes can be verified
doc = new Document(getArtifactsDir() + "Table.ClearBorders.docx");
table = (Table) doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true);

Assert.assertEquals(0.0d, topBorder.getLineWidth());
Assert.assertEquals(0, topBorder.getColor().getRGB());
Assert.assertEquals(LineStyle.NONE, topBorder.getLineStyle());

Example:

Shows how to apply a outline border to a table.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Tables.docx");
Table table = (Table) doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true);

// Align the table to the center of the page
table.setAlignment(TableAlignment.CENTER);

// Clear any existing borders and shading from the table
table.clearBorders();

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Table.SetOutlineBorders.docx");

clearShading

public void clearShading()
Removes all shading on the table.

Example:

Shows how to apply a outline border to a table.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Tables.docx");
Table table = (Table) doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true);

// Align the table to the center of the page

convertToHorizontallyMergedCells

public void convertToHorizontallyMergedCells()
                                     throws java.lang.Exception
Converts cells horizontally merged by width to cells merged by CellFormat.HorizontalMerge.

Table cells can be horizontally merged either using merge flags CellFormat.HorizontalMerge or using cell width CellFormat.Width.

When table cell is merged by width property CellFormat.HorizontalMerge is meaningless but sometimes having merge flags is more convenient way.

Use this method to transforms table cells horizontally merged by width to cells merged by merge flags.

Example:

Shows how to convert cells horizontally merged by width to cells merged by CellFormat.HorizontalMerge.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Table with merged cells.docx");

// MS Word does not write merge flags anymore, they define merged cells by its width
// So AW by default define only 5 cells in a row and all of it didn't have horizontal merge flag
Table table = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getTables().get(0);
Row row = table.getRows().get(0);
Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().getCount(), 5);

// To resolve this inconvenience, we have added new public method to convert cells which are horizontally merged
// by its width to the cell horizontally merged by flags. Thus now we have 7 cells and some of them have
// horizontal merge value
table.convertToHorizontallyMergedCells();
row = table.getRows().get(0);
Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().getCount(), 7);

Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().get(0).getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge(), CellMerge.NONE);
Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().get(1).getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge(), CellMerge.FIRST);
Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().get(2).getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge(), CellMerge.PREVIOUS);
Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().get(3).getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge(), CellMerge.NONE);
Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().get(4).getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge(), CellMerge.FIRST);
Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().get(5).getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge(), CellMerge.PREVIOUS);
Assert.assertEquals(row.getCells().get(6).getCellFormat().getHorizontalMerge(), CellMerge.NONE);

deepClone

→ inherited from Node
public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)
Creates a duplicate of the node.

This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The cloned node has no parent, but belongs to the same document as the original node.

This method always performs a deep copy of the node. The isCloneChildren parameter specifies whether to perform copy all child nodes as well.

Parameters:
isCloneChildren - True to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.
Returns:
The cloned node.

Example:

Shows how to clone a composite node.
Document doc = new Document();
Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
para.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));

// Below are two ways of cloning a composite node.
// 1 -  Create a clone of a node, and create a clone of each of its child nodes as well.
Node cloneWithChildren = para.deepClone(true);

Assert.assertTrue(((CompositeNode) cloneWithChildren).hasChildNodes());
Assert.assertEquals("Hello world!", cloneWithChildren.getText().trim());

// 2 -  Create a clone of a node just by itself without any children.
Node cloneWithoutChildren = para.deepClone(false);

Assert.assertFalse(((CompositeNode) cloneWithoutChildren).hasChildNodes());
Assert.assertEquals("", cloneWithoutChildren.getText().trim());

ensureMinimum

public void ensureMinimum()
                  throws java.lang.Exception
If the table has no rows, creates and appends one Row.

Example:

Shows how to ensure a table node is valid.
Document doc = new Document();

// Create a new table and add it to the document
Table table = new Table(doc);
doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(table);

// Currently, the table does not contain any rows, cells or nodes that can have content added to them
Assert.assertEquals(0, table.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true).getCount());

// This method ensures that the table has one row, one cell and one paragraph; the minimal nodes required to begin editing
table.ensureMinimum();
table.getFirstRow().getFirstCell().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));

getAncestor

→ inherited from Node
public CompositeNode getAncestor(int ancestorType)
Gets the first ancestor of the specified NodeType.
Parameters:
ancestorType - A NodeType value. The node type of the ancestor to retrieve.

getChild

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public Node getChild(int nodeType, int index, boolean isDeep)
Returns an Nth child node that matches the specified type.

If index is out of range, a null is returned.

Note that markup nodes (NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG and NodeType.SMART_TAG) are traversed even when isDeep = false and GetChild is invoked for non-markup node type. For example if the first run in a para is wrapped in a StructuredDocumentTag, it will still be returned by GetChild(NodeType.Run, 0, false).
Parameters:
nodeType - A NodeType value. Specifies the type of the child node.
index - Zero based index of the child node to select. Negative indexes are also allowed and indicate access from the end, that is -1 means the last node.
isDeep - True to select from all child nodes recursively. False to select only among immediate children. See remarks for more info.
Returns:
The child node that matches the criteria or null if no matching node is found.

Example:

Shows how to traverse through a composite node's collection of child nodes.
Document doc = new Document();

// Add two runs and one shape as child nodes to the first paragraph of this document.
Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, true);

shape.setWrapType(WrapType.INLINE);
paragraph.appendChild(shape);

paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello again!"));

// Iterate through the paragraph's collection of immediate children,
// and print any runs or shapes that we find within.
NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes();

Assert.assertEquals(3, paragraph.getChildNodes().getCount());

for (Node child : (Iterable<Node>) children)
    switch (child.getNodeType()) {
        case NodeType.RUN:
            System.out.println("Run contents:");
            System.out.println("\t\"{child.GetText().Trim()}\"");

            System.out.println("\t{childShape.ShapeType}, {childShape.Width}x{childShape.Height}");
            break;
    }

Example:

Shows how to apply attributes of a table's style directly to the table's elements.
Document doc = new Document();

Table table = builder.startTable();
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Hello world!");
builder.endTable();

TableStyle tableStyle = (TableStyle) doc.getStyles().add(StyleType.TABLE, "MyTableStyle1");
tableStyle.setRowStripe(3);
tableStyle.setCellSpacing(5.0);
tableStyle.getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.WHITE);
tableStyle.getBorders().setColor(Color.BLUE);
tableStyle.getBorders().setLineStyle(LineStyle.DOT_DASH);

table.setStyle(tableStyle);

// This method concerns table style attributes such as the ones we set above.
doc.expandTableStylesToDirectFormatting();

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.TableStyleToDirectFormatting.docx");

getChildNodes

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public NodeCollection getChildNodes(int nodeType, boolean isDeep)
Returns a live collection of child nodes that match the specified type.

The collection of nodes returned by this method is always live.

A live collection is always in sync with the document. For example, if you selected all sections in a document and enumerate through the collection deleting the sections, the section is removed from the collection immediately when it is removed from the document.

Parameters:
nodeType - A NodeType value. Specifies the type of nodes to select.
isDeep - True to select from all child nodes recursively. False to select only among immediate children.
Returns:
A live collection of child nodes of the specified type.

Example:

Shows how to extract images from a document, and save them to the local file system as individual files.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx");

// Get the collection of shapes from the document,
// and save the image data of every shape with an image as a file to the local file system.
NodeCollection shapes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true);

int imageIndex = 0;
for (Shape shape : (Iterable<Shape>) shapes) {
    if (shape.hasImage()) {
        // The image data of shapes may contain images of many possible image formats. 
        // We can determine a file extension for each image automatically, based on its format.
        String imageFileName = MessageFormat.format("File.ExtractImages.{0}{1}", imageIndex, FileFormatUtil.imageTypeToExtension(shape.getImageData().getImageType()));
        shape.getImageData().save(getArtifactsDir() + imageFileName);
        imageIndex++;
    }
}

Example:

Shows how to print all of a document's comments and their replies.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Comments.docx");

NodeCollection comments = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.COMMENT, true);

// If a comment has no ancestor, it is a "top-level" comment as opposed to a reply-type comment.
// Print all top-level comments along with their replies, if there are any.
for (Comment comment : (Iterable<Comment>) comments) {
    if (comment.getAncestor() == null) {
        System.out.println("Top-level comment:");
        System.out.println("\t\"{comment.GetText().Trim()}\", by {comment.Author}");
        System.out.println("Has {comment.Replies.Count} replies");
        for (Comment commentReply : comment.getReplies()) {
            System.out.println("\t\"{commentReply.GetText().Trim()}\", by {commentReply.Author}");
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
}

getText

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public java.lang.String getText()
Gets the text of this node and of all its children.

The returned string includes all control and special characters as described in ControlChar.

Example:

Shows how to output all paragraphs in a document that are bulleted or numbered.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.getListFormat().applyNumberDefault();
builder.writeln("Numbered list item 1");
builder.writeln("Numbered list item 2");
builder.writeln("Numbered list item 3");
builder.getListFormat().removeNumbers();

builder.getListFormat().applyBulletDefault();
builder.writeln("Bulleted list item 1");
builder.writeln("Bulleted list item 2");
builder.writeln("Bulleted list item 3");
builder.getListFormat().removeNumbers();

NodeCollection paras = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true);
for (Paragraph para : (Iterable<Paragraph>) paras) {
    if (para.getListFormat().isListItem()) {
        System.out.println(java.text.MessageFormat.format("*** A paragraph belongs to list {0}", para.getListFormat().getList().getListId()));
        System.out.println(para.getText());
    }
}

Example:

Shows the difference between calling the GetText and ToString methods on a node.
Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD Field");

// GetText will retrieve the visible text as well as field codes and special characters.
Assert.assertEquals("\u0013MERGEFIELD Field\u0014«Field»\u0015\f", doc.getText());

// ToString will give us the document's appearance if saved to a passed save format.
Assert.assertEquals("«Field»\r\n", doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));

indexOf

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public int indexOf(Node child)
Returns the index of the specified child node in the child node array. Returns -1 if the node is not found in the child nodes.

Example:

Shows how to get the index of a given child node from its parent.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

Body body = doc.getFirstSection().getBody();

// Retrieve the index of the last paragraph in the body of the first section.
Assert.assertEquals(24, body.getChildNodes().indexOf(body.getLastParagraph()));

insertAfter

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public Node insertAfter(Node newChild, Node refChild)
                throws java.lang.Exception
Inserts the specified node immediately after the specified reference node.

If refChild is null, inserts newChild at the beginning of the list of child nodes.

If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use DocumentBase.importNode(com.aspose.words.Node,boolean,int) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

Parameters:
newChild - The Node to insert.
refChild - The Node that is the reference node. The newNode is placed after the refNode.
Returns:
The inserted node.

Example:

Shows how to add, update and delete child nodes in a CompositeNode's collection of children.
Document doc = new Document();

→ inherited from CompositeNode
public Node insertBefore(Node newChild, Node refChild)
                 throws java.lang.Exception
Inserts the specified node immediately before the specified reference node.

If refChild is null, inserts newChild at the end of the list of child nodes.

If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use DocumentBase.importNode(com.aspose.words.Node,boolean,int) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

Parameters:
newChild - The Node to insert.
refChild - The Node that is the reference node. The newChild is placed before this node.
Returns:
The inserted node.
